An airplane pilot on his way to South Georgia made an emergency landing Sunday at Lee Gilmer Memorial Airport after clipping power lines off Ga. 53/Dawsonville Highway.

No one was injured as the single-engine plane came to a rest on its belly, said Gainesville Fire Chief Jon Canada.

Robert Goodman of Temple in West Georgia was flying a 1999 RV 4 experimental aircraft from Winston-Salem, N.C., to  Temple, when he struck the power lines, causing the landing gear to malfunction, said Gainesville police Sgt. Dean Staples.

He was flying over Lake Lanier at the time.

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the incident, which took place about 4:30 p.m.
